Re: Pacers/Heat Postgame Thread 2/1/13

"We're not worried about that," LeBron James said with a shrug. "We don't put too much into losing a game or winning a game, we want to get better from those games. We don't need victories versus top teams to prove what we're capable of doing. We don't need them. We'd love to have them, but we don't need them."

"I would love to win every game against all the top teams," Wade said. "Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. All you need to do during the regular season is work your game."

So, Wade and Lebron don't care about losing to the Pacers, yet they both played over 40 minute. Riiiiiiiight.

Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.

"Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't"

And sometimes you don't win any of them am I right Dwyane? (Heat are 0-5 against the Pacers, Knicks, and Bulls this season)

Just watched the NBA.com highlight reel for the game. I hadn't noticed the first time, but when PG hits that fade away jumper on Lebron, James clearly puts his open palm on PG's chest and gives him a little assistance toward the floor and out of bounds.

Re: Pacers/Heat Postgame Thread 2/1/13

Some interesting data taken from ESPN's research notes:

Paul George was the primary defender on 14 of LeBron James' 25 plays Friday, and James had success on those plays. He was 7-for-10 when guarded by George, with five of those seven field goals coming inside 10 feet.

The Heat scored seven transition points Friday, their fourth fewest in a game this season. In Miami's first game against the Pacers on January 8, it scored a season-low one transition point.

David West scored 18 of his game-high 30 points in the paint Friday, his most paint points in a game in the last two seasons. West was 6-for-6 inside 5 feet against the Heat, his most made field goals without a miss from that distance since March 12, 2010, when he was 7-for-7. Statistical support for this story from NBA.com

The Pacers' 81.0 field goal percentage inside 5 feet Friday was the highest the Heat have allowed in a game this season, after allowing teams to shoot 57.1 percent from that distance entering Friday's game. Overall the Heat defense struggled, allowing the Pacers to shoot 55.7 percent from the field, the second highest percentage they've allowed this season.

We shot 81% (!!!) inside 5 feet. I am actually in shock
